The combustion of methylhydrazine, CH6N2; a rocket fuel, produces 

N2(g), CO2(g) and H2O(l): 

2 CH6N2(g) + 5 O2(g)  2 N2(g) + 2 CO2(g) +  2 H2O(l)

When 4.0 g of methylhydrazine is combusted in a bomb calorimeter, 

the temperature of the calorimeter increases from 25.0 0 C to 39.50 0 C. 

In a separate experiment the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 

measured to be 7.794 kJ/ 0C. Calculate the heat of reaction for the 

combustion of a mole of CH6N2 .
